On Thursday, Beijing time, OpenAI announced the acquisition of the start-up Global Illumination and brought the entire team under its command. New members have begun to participate in the development of core products including ChatGPT.
This transaction is also OpenAI’s first public acquisition since its founding in 2015. The specific terms of the transaction were not made public.
Judging from past products, the work experience of the Global Illumination team is mainly concentrated in the field of graphical interface and software interaction, which is also a relatively weak aspect of products such as ChatGPT.
